When I click on the middle button (play/pause) of a 3-button headset it always pulls up the phone call log. How do I cause it to play/pause the active music app? I tried using "Headset Button Controller" and assigned the specific music app to the middle button, but that didn't change the behavior.

Has anybody found a program that can reassign the pick-up and hang-up buttons on the XDA II headset? It would be really nice if we could assign one of these buttons to "Next Track" on Windows Media Player. It would even be better if the program would switch the buttons back to the default behavior if the phone application becomes active (when the phone rings).
yeah but as far as i know the headset buttons are hardwired to the pickup buttons on the phone and those cant be changed by any software
Hey peeps, basically I have a pair of headphones that only has one button on it, to start and stop music. I've noticed on windows media player that on the buttons tab, Play & Pause are linked to ENTER....which is the same button my headset is using to pause tracks.
What I want to be able to do is change the Next Track button to ENTER instead, this way I could change tracks without even getting my phone out. I've already tried to press my headset button whilst trying to re-assign buttons but that doesnt work. Is there anything out there to help me? I have a theory that if the keyboard could stay up when re-assigning buttons I may be able to do it. any ideas guys?
Hey people.
There are many good quality earphones built for phones on the market at the moment and the ones that have controls in addition to a microphone are more often than not tailored for Apple products.
I purchased one and it has three buttons. Volume up/down and a play /pause button which doubles up as a call answer/end button. The play/pause button works, but doesn't answer/end calls, and the volume up/down buttons don't work either.
Is there an app that reads the signals sent from the remote and translates them to android-capable commands?
Also, the play/pause button also "next track" when double pressed, and "rev track" when held down; is there an app that translates these commands to android-capable commands?
Thanks.
I can't get the button on a Bluetooth headset to properly control Google Play Music. The single button play/pauses correctly but double clicking doesn't skip to the next track. I've tried several apps from the app store (Headset Button Controller, Headset Control Tester, JAYS Headset Control, Smart Key, even Poweramp media player) to fix the issue none of them worked.
I'm not sure if those apps aren't compatible with the latest version of Android or if there's another Android service that's intercepting the bluetooth button clicks/commands. The Headset Button Controller app has a debug mode that's supposed to display a message detailing the command every time the button is clicked, which is similar to the entire purpose of the Headset Control Tester app. Neither app recognizes or displays anything when I click the button, the HBC FAQ says that could be because another app is instead taking the commands instead.
It's unsuccessful in Safe Mode as well, so if anything it's a default Android service that's causing this issue.
Does anyone have a bluetooth headset and have button controls working properly on 7.1.1?
Thank you
Edit: Actually, after restarting (and/or disabling the Google Play Music app) I can get the button click to be registered by the Headset Control Tester app (aka log). But it only registers single button clicks (as an ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP), double clicking the button (which produces a beep over the speakers) doesn't show up at all in the log.
on my headset I do a long press on volume up or down to skip songs... works on nougat
I have Bluetooth headphones, which use a single button press to for pause/play. Unfortunately these buttons trigger quite easily on their own and there doesn't seem to be an app from the vendor to change the button mapping.
Is there a way on the Android side to disable those media controls?
